Truly excited to share that I have achieved a lifetime bucket list item - acceptance of my wood boxes to exhibit and sell at one of the most prestigious fine contemporary craft exhibitions in the world. My work has been juried into the 2026 Philadelphia Museum of Art (PMA) Contemporary Craft Show. http://www.pmacraftshow.orgThis is IMO the 2nd most prestigious fine craft show in the world - and it truly takes world class work to jury into. For those not familiar with the professional artist jury process - all applicants submit images of their current hand made work and a jury of artistic experts score the work based on artistic criteria including originality, form, design and workmanship. There are about 2000 applicants annually to the PMA show, each of which believes their work is competitive, so being one of the 195 accepted is truly an honor and validation to the many years spent honing my box ideas, design skills and ability to execute the work with my hands. You can find me through the hyperlink above - but here is link to my page on the show artist section: http://www.pmacraftshow.org/artist/...avid-knipferI need to get my damaged right elbow back in business in my shop to make some new boxes! I hope to see some of you as friendly faces in Philadelphia in November. If you come to the show, by all means stop by and say hello!

Outstanding! Great to hear! I'm afraid Philly is a bit out of my reach, but here's wishing you the best.
And get that elbow healed.
